OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XXIX. Copyright, 1916, Star Company. Myra Webb attacked her new story ■with the conviction that on this de pended much of her future success or failure. # If she could write something fine in spite of the intangible discour agements in her home; if she could prove that ihe she could rise above fears and doubts to such an extent as to forget her surroundings and throw herself into her tales, then she might have confidence in her own powers. She determined that she would make good. She did not know that j she was exercising auto suggestion, but she was. The secret of many a man's and woman's triumph over circumstances lies in his or her ability to persuade the subsc.onscious self that what must be done can be done. It was through this ability that Myra at last wrote her new story. [ She felt as if she was Impelled by some inner force of which she knew lit- ( tie. Things became vivid before her mind's eye and she depicted them in forceful language. When she must 1 stop her work she felt weary and spent, as if virtue bad gone out of her. At the end of the third day she had finished the rough copy of her work. She put it aside and would not look at it again until to-morrow. I It seemed almost like another person's work when she read it the following morning. She made sun dry corrections, then began carefully , and laboriously to copy her story. She I called it "Truth." That was what I Mr. Martin had said he wanted —a Story that had truth in it. When at last the manuscript was typed and ready for deliver}', she took it downtown and left it with Mr. Mar tin's stenographer. The editor him self was busy in his inner office and , she would not disturb him. The Aftermath There is a sense of blankness and stateness after one has finished an absorbing piece of writing, and this s«s liled Myra now. She wanted to t away from herself —from her thoughts. To this end she made an ll lpusiv e suggestion to Grace when she , reached boipe that afternoon. "Perhaps you would like to plan the dinner party of which you spoke the other day," she ventured. "When do you want to have it? Suppose we, eay the latter part of next week?" Perhaps she was reckless; perhaps (lie money she hoped for would not be forthcoming. Perhaps the story would be returned to her. The idea was in tolerable—she must think of some thing else. "All right," Grace agreed. "I am glad you introduced the subject your self. mother, if you had not I would I not have done so. I made up my i mind to that when T saw how self- 1 absorbed, and depressed you have been lately." ' MAN KILLS MOTHER, BABY, DArGHTER, SOX AND SELF Rochester, Ind., May 17.—William Dollars, 30, a miller at Macy, a village ; near here, yesterday shot and killed his mother. Mrs. Anna Dollar, 50, and j fSughter Agnes, 8, fatally wounded his i son George, 11, and baby Ida. 2, and j then went to a nearby cemetery, where | he killed himself on the grave of his ' wife. It in believed that the recent sudden death of Dollar's wife caused insanity. The Inner Secret of New Post Toasties A glance at one of these new corn flakes reveals novel, little bubbles which are raised by the quick, in tense heat of a new process of manufacture. These bubbles are an identifying feature of these —the only corn flakes with a self-developed, deli cious corn flavour —the only flakes that do not have to depend largely on cream and sugar for palatabil ity. Try some of the New Toasties dry—they're good that way—the children munch them like candy. But of course the delicious new flavour is more pro " nounced when the flakes are served with sugar and cream. The New Post Toasties do not waste into "chaff" in the package, and they don't mush down in cream like other flakes. They're a vast improvement over old-fashioned corn flakes and have met with enthusiastic approval everywhere. New Post Toasties Sold bv Grocers everywhere. WEDNESDAY EVENING, I "Self-absorbed! Depressed!" Myra exclaimed. Why, dear child, I have | not been that, have I?" j "You certainly have," mother, the ! girl declared. "I thought perhaps you were peeved at my planning to have company here so soon." "Nothing' of the kind." Myra dis claimed. "I have been occupied with my writing, that's all." "Well, it is a pity to be so much engrossed in any occupation that one cannot be cheerful and bright, I think." Grace remarked. "I get that way myself sometimes, I acknowledge, [ but with me It is different —so much , depends on my success in the future." "I know, dear," the mother sympa , thized. She did not remark that a j great deal, too, depended upon her •success as a writer. But she encouraged the girl to talk about the coming dinner party. Grace had decided that there were to be four couples In all. "You and father and myself," she said, "Miss Perkins and her brother. Mary Jarker and Robert Havland. And i now we want one more man." "What about Max Courtney? We nave not seen him since he called heve last Summer." "No, we haven't," Grace rejoined, ; "and I did not intend to ask him i again." "Hut perhaps I will, just to show i hint that I do not eare whether he wants to marry a rich girl or not. It 1 peeved me at first, but now 1 don't ; care. I wish," dreamily, "that I could invite a much nicer man whom I know, his name is Dayton—Henry : Dayton." I "I remember your speaking of him I last Winter," Myra rejoined. "You j met him at the dance, didn't you? Why not invite him?" i "Because he has money, and we have not," said Grace. "That puts him out of my circle entirely. All of my associates are not poor, but I none of them has lot of money, as Mr. Dayton has. By the way, I saw him the other night driving down the street, but I pretended not to." The young eyes were wistful, and the mother sighed to to herself. Grace would not regard matters as other girls might. If she avoided all men who had money, she would never have any chance to marry anyone but a poor man. How mercenary the lack of a sufficient income made a parent! Myra. reflected. Well, never mind Grace should have a dinner party even if her mother was not sure yet whether she would have money enough to pay the bills afterward. Perry Martin went to Boston on business about this time, so Myra Webb's manuscript lay untouched iti ' the safe until his return. Grace's dinner party was a success. "It was really very stunning" the girl declared happily. She told her moth er she never supposed they could en tertain as well as this, in such a small : apartment. (To he continued.) !

HARniSBDRG (<£6BB TELEGRAPH FOODS WHICH CAUSE OF GERMAN SAILO CHAPTER 5». Tlie Striking Contrast Between the i Foods Which Caused the Collapse of (lie (.eriiinn Sailors and (he Foods on Which They Quickly Recovered j Strength and Health Has Become a IStumbling Block In (lie I'atli of Food Authorities Who Persist ill Attributing to High Calorie Foods the Virtues Which Ik> Not Belong to Them. The lesson of the Kronprinz Wll helm is this. She has proved con clusively the inadequacy of those very foods on which America relies so heavily. Heretofore no prolonged ex periments have been conducted to de- 11 ermine the evil results of living ex clusively on such foods. The Kron prinz has furnished that experiment. There can be no greater or more suf i flcient proof of the folly of unbalanc ing food by refining processes; of the folly of ignoring the meaning of the salts, colloids and vltamines natural to all unprocessed foods; of the folly of claiming for high calorie foods the absurd virtues which they do not possess. Shortly after the arrival of the Ger man cruiser at Newport News, the ship's surgeon, Dr. Perrenon, con sidered with me all these points and many more. He realized the neces sity of restoring to the bodies of his sick men the bases or which they had been deprived. The formula which it was my privi lege to suggest, and which was adopted by him for the treatment of the acidosis among the German sail ors, was as follows: "To one hundred pounds of wheat bran add two hundred pounds water. Ueech for twelve hours at 120 degrees F. Drain off liquor. Qive each man eight ounces each morning. "Give each man one teaspoonful wheat bran morning and night until contraindicated by loose stools. "801 l cabbage, carrots, parsnips, spinach, onions, turnips together two hours. Drain off liquor. Discard residue. Feed liquor as soup in gen erous quantities with unbuttered whole wheat bread. "Wash and peel potatoes. Discard potatoes. Retain the skins. Boil skins two hours. Give the liquor to men to drink, four ounces a day. "CHve to each man yolks of four eggs a day in .fresh, sweet, unskim med milk, one yolk every three hours, with as much milk as he will drink by sipping. "At noon, with dry whole wheat bread, give one ounce fresh roast beef. "One hour before drinking milk wive Juice of ripe orange, or lemon juice, diluted with water without sugar. "Keep apples or apple sauce within reach of men all the time. "At the end of first week let men "at solid vegetable soup as well as liquor. "II is imperative that men shall a,void all cheese, whites of egg, but ter, lard, fat of any kind, white bread, crackers, pastry, puddings, mashed potatoes, sugar, saccharine, salt meat, fish, polished rice, pearled barley, de germinated cornmeal, and gravy." From the ship's cook, as translated by Dr. Perrenon. was obtained a chart showing what each meal consisted of prior to the breaking out of the dis ease among the. men. This chart not Only accounts for the disease, but also j for the nature of the prescription re i oorded above. BREAKFAST, MONDAY 1 Cheese, oatmeal, condensed milk, j •white bread, butter, coffee, sugar. BREAKFAST. TUESDAY Sausage, white bread, butter, fried potatoes, coffee, condensed milk, sugar. PRESIDENT TELLS OF HEAVY BURDEN Responsibility of Deciding on War or Peace Drives Sleep Away Special to the Telegraph Washington, May 17.—President Wil j son last night made public a frank and j intimate review of his three years ill | the White House and his impression? lof foreign and domestic problems, de livered confidentially before Washington | correspondents gathered at the Na tional Press Club.

"America," the President said, "Is for I peace because she loves peace, and be lieves the present war has carried the j nations engaged so far that they can | not lie held to ordinary standards of responsibility. Hut," he added, "the I'nlted States has grown to he one of the great nations of the world, and therefore must act "more or less from I the point of view of the rest of the ■ world." | "If I cannot retain my moral influ ence over a man except by occasionally i knocking him down." he said; "If that lis the only basis of his soul f have : got occasionally to knock him down."

After the prescription for the treat ment of the sick sailors had been placed In his hands Dr. Perrenon wrote me as follows: "Newport News, April 16. 1915. '"Alfred W. McCann, New York City. "Dear Mr. McCann--Many thanks for your kind suggestion for the relief of the beri-beri which we have on board the Kronprinz Wilhelm. | "We are all satisfied that this con jdition is due to the impoverished (character of the food supply. "The remedy you have suggested is obviously the correct one. ami 1 shall immediately order its application. "Yours sincerely, "DR. E. PERRENON. 1 "Chief Surgeon S. S. lvronprintz Wil helm." We are now about to consider the results of this natural treatment, but first must note the fact that none of the officers of the cruiser were stricken. The many raids never resulted in any large quantity of'fresh vegetables or fruits, so if divided among the crew such l'resh vegetables would not have sufficed for more than a day or two. In consequence they were re served for the officers' table, which . they managed to provide with gener ous quantities from one raid to an other. While all the officers showed symp- I toms of anemia and mild acidosis, none of them were prostrated. ropean situation, because there might come a time when the United States would have to do what It did not de sire to do and "the great burden on my spirits has been that It has been up to me to choose when that time came." He addedi that he did not conceive that he had been elected President to do as he pleased. "If I were, It would have ben very much more Interesting." | he said. j Impressions of public men as a class I were given frankly by the President, I with the comment that some grew and some swelled. He also discussed the relations of the newspapers to the af fairs of the nation, and sounded a warn ing that false information about foreign affairs was more than likely to lead to I trouble.

IS YOUR BLOOD A RED STREAM No Where in This Paper Is There a Better Lesson to Be Learned Than That Taught By S. S. S. How many men go about us with bad blood? Science speaks in figures that would appall those who do not know. Poisoned blood is the keystone of the build ing called Disease. Almost every disease is due to bad blood. Germ life which fosters itself on our blood destroys all manner of men in a slow and insidious fashion. Rheumatism, that craftiest of all diseases. attacks its victims through the blood. So does Ca tarrh, Eczema, Tetter and many skin diseases. The body of man will take care of almost every case of disease provided the blood is pure and normal. If the blood is run down, then beware, for it is the heavy artillery of the body and without it man falls an easy prey to even the simplest of mal adies. This is particularly true in the hot season. S. S. S. is the world's greatest blood purifier. Why? Simply be cause it is extracted from vege table ingredients that reach the blood in almost their identical quality, when they have passed through the stomach and intes tines. S. S. S. has met every demand made upon it by hundreds of thousands of sufferers of almost every known blood disease. That is why this great blood purifier is sold everywhere to all classes of people and why it is carried by. every drug store in every city in our land. No druggist would anv more open a drug store without S. S. S. than he would without quinine and capsules. The action of S. S.
